non cvcc head that fits 83 EM1
83wago
Band Wagon
I have a 83 wagon with the EM1 motor that i bought in may with blown head gasket. Pulled head and found that it is cracked from the aux port to the intake and the lobe on #4 exhaust is flat which ruined the rocker. My machine shops wont touch it and the ones that will want way to much. So i ordered another head and found it to be warped on the cam side which also had the same cam lobe bad. So i looked online and found a non cvcc head in canada, called the yard gave them application and they have one that will fit they say but he cant give the casting number due to its not there and they are the middle man for alot of other yards. Finally my question does any one think it will fit or worth the risk of ordering, and does anyone know which non cvcc heads fit the EM1.

In 1983 honda wagons came with 1500 cvcc motor.( The block is a EM1. The head casting is PA6) The cvcc causes extra lean burn which causes heat, sucks power, carbons the hell out it. With extra heat and being aluminum(the head) mated to a cast block they have head gasket issues. I have searched for stock replacement head but every replacement( three heads including the stock) either has cracks or severe cam side warping. Line boring on the cam side is very costly and no guarantee and i heard the non cvcc from canada mates up to alot of these blocks. If i could get away from the cvcc i will get more power and less headache. Im just asking if anybody has had experience with switching.
